Correspondence of THE DEMOCRAT.
1. Huse, Jr., registered at the ParE
City Hotel on Monday.
Geo. A. Meears came up on Monday,
and is at the Morgan mine.
David A. Fisher, of Washington, ID.
c., visited the Park Monday and took in
the sights.
J. L. Haywood is back again from
Zion
George Pierson went to Salt Lake or
Friday on business.
Policeman VIM. Bennett returned from
the city Monday night, whittier he was
called as witness in the Coughlin lar
ceny case in the Third District Court.
The case has been laid over for another
term.
Martin Gerraty has returned from the
metropolis after months attendance on
the Third District Court as a juror.
The last of the Odd Fellows and
&. A. r. visitors returned home Satur-
day, all happy over the week of pleasure
spent in the Park.
Witnesses to the Third District Court
from Park City always return out
of pocket from their trip. With good
pay here at home, they seem to be I'M
able to get accustomed to the meagre
pay of the Government which realizes in
cash only thirty-seven and a-half cents
on the dollar. 1t cannot be from want
of patriotism or a desire to serve the
Government-thatth the Parkites would be
willing to do for nothing, but as long as
they pretend to pay for services rem
dered they should come up to the mark
and establish their credit by making the
script worth its face value.
The Crescent shipped 175 tons of ore
last week and have more at the sampler
awaiting shipment, but cars cannot be
had for its transportation.
The roads up Thayne's canyon are get
ting in good condition and the teams are
making regular trips and bringing down
heavy loads.
A slide was reported as having come
down Thayne's canyon last Saturday,
from which the ore teams had a narrow
escape. There was nothing in the re-
port and from the teamsters we learn
that there is no danger to be feared from
slides in the canyon at present.
Old Sol has been just spreading him
self for the past few days and has caused
decline in snow, a run having been
made on some of its banks. Everybody
are out trying to get rid of its worthless
stock which is flooding the streets.
One hundred tons of coal are useI
every day in the Park, and at present the
supply is being received from the Home
Coal Company's mines at Coalville. Mr..
Kimball informs us that the late scarcity
was due to an unusual consumption and
from want of cars for its transportation.
This trouble has been remedied and will
not likely occur again. There is prob
ability that the Grass Creek mines will
be re-opened soon on a lease. 1t costs
two dollars and thirteen cents per ton to
get this coal out and the company receive
but two dollars and quarter for it on
the dump, and parties having offered to
extract it for less than the above price,
the company will no doubt give them a
chance to do it.
If 1.-THE roads keep in their present good
and mills will be put in at once.
"Zitka" is billed to appear at Society
Hall Thursday and Friday of this week.
1t has been long time since perform
ance has been given in the hall, and
"Zitka" will no doubt be played to full
houses.
The spring and summer will bring
with it the erection of hosting works at
the Boss mine. The works will be SINH
lar to those at the Anchor mine, and will
be erected a short distance southwest of
the Sampson works. Ten men are at
work on the Boss property, all the work
being conducted through the Sampson
tunnel, which has been rented by the
company until the 1st of July. Just
what is being done can not be ascer-
tanned, but the developments warrant
the erection of hosting works, which is
sufficient evidence that the company
have good mine, and are going to bring
it to the front.
In connection with the above, rumor
has it that there is likely to be a contest
on the part of the Boss for the Crescent
mother vein, or else-what is usually the
result of such Contests compromise.
The two properties are adjoining, and
the recent developments in the Boss may
have unearthed something new as to the
relations the two mines bear to each
IL 10 W DC uOpCu IllC biOIUlc,
if there is any, will be settled peaceably
between the two companies, and that
litigation may be avoided.
Assays have been made from samples
Of the Reed ore which give an average
Of 200 ounces to the ton. Work is being
pushed, and as the drift increases the
pay streak improves in width and in
metal. The vein being stratified or
banded vein, it presents characteristics
different from any other in this district,
and it is claimed that it is superior to
either of the two big veins OF the camp.
DIR. Mantor is the happy possessor of
another girl, who arrived in town on
Wednesday, the 23d inst. Mrs. Mantor
is getting along nicely, and the little one
the same.
